Update your wardrobe - and help the needy at the same time!

Summer is here and I realised that I only had about one decent t shirt to my name! What to do? I needed several tops in different colours. I then remembered that the Social Supermarket clothes store in Nippos is open every Tuesday and clothes can be bought at extremely good prices with the money going to the Social supermarket.

How does it work?
Clothes are donated. A team of volunteers sort, wash, press them.

Firstly clothes are given to those in need of clothes. Some go to the shop in Kalyves, some are given to the Red Cross and other charities

The rest are in the shop and are available for anyone to come along and buy. All proceeds then go to the social supermarket.

A win, win situation

Why not go along next Tuesday 10 -12 and update your summer wardrobe?

The council continues to choose its officers and the committees have been chosen for finance and also what is called the "Quality of life committee" which deals with planning, environmental issues, licenses, parks and cemeteries amongst other things. I think they will be kept pretty busy! Last night I was at a wedding - more of that tomorrow and tonight I am off to a play being produced in Vamos. "And ever More Shall Be So" By Norman Robbins. I see once again that television is re running the series " A Place In Greece" which featured Brian Saunders and Andrew Stewart Sutton along with their friends Les and Pete and their adventures buying a property here in Crete and their life here in Apokoronas. Love them or hate them it was good entertainment as long as it was not taken too seriously. What happened after the series ended? They are now back in the UK.

The Old Bakery at Georgioupolis ( and more work in the square!)

Image
The best bread in Crete, in my opinion, is that from the old wood fired bakery in Georgioupolis. I happened to call by as they were firing up for a fresh batch of bread I bought a hot loaf just out of the oven. The Georgioupolis bread is famous all over Greece and is taken to Athens. It has very good keeping qualities. Greek people from all over the island come to get bread here and is is expected for locals to take a few loaves if they are visiting other areas. Some paximadi too ( twice baked hard rusk) Andonis mopping out the hot oven with a damp cloth. Work continues in the square Paving is beginning to be laid There are ramps for access on each side of the square Meanwhile, down on the seafront…..
